On 11 June, I went to Hong Kong through Airasia. It would be impossible for me to have the opportunity to fly if it wasn’t Airasia. Ming Han and I managed to get a cheap ticket for 2 ways to & fro Hong Kong. The price is so cheap that most of the people surprised after I told them the amount. It is RM440 including airport tax and fuel surcharges for two ways. Sound ridiculously cheap? I bet u would say that. Actually, this is the first time Airasia fly to Hong Kong directly and they celebrate it by having a promotion for the ticket price. Hence, I guess we just lucky enough to able to grab the seats. Hehe..
Airasia, now everybody can fly!
Hence, on that day, we all gathered at the LCCT McD, 2 hours prior to boarding time. Feeling quite excited at that time, because this is my first flight going overseas. After 4 hours sitting in the Airasia Airbus AK76 without really getting any sleep at all, we have landed on Hong Kong.
At the airport, the customs officers were not so friendly as compared to their counterparts in Malaysia. They were very strict and will not smile at all. May be they are sick of their job or something bad might had happened, who knows? After the long queue up, we managed to get ourselves went pass the customs. We were told by the travel agency that there will be a guy waiting for us, just like what we seen in the movie or tv drama. But the guy didn’t show up. He supposed to wait for us at there since 11am. Wandering around, wait and wait… he didn’t show up. We even made calls but just couldn’t reach that guy. Maybe he was playing hide and seek with us, that was what I thought. Until approx 2 hours later, he finally showed up.
After that, we were sent to our hotel. We stayed at the Dorsett Seaview Hotel for the first night. It was located at yaomadei (油麻地), just a block away from Temple street ，庙街. The attitudes of the hotel receptionists were rude and arrogant. At that time, I wondered why Hong Kong people all behave like this. Haiz… so disappointing! They can barely speak good English but still wanna show their xxx, make me wanna puke! So, without further ado, we checked into our room which is so damn small, comparable to the First World Hotel back in Genting. And speaking about seaview, we didn’t manage to see any seaview from our room. All we see were high rise apartments and flats with many clothes, bras and undies hanging at their hanging place or window. What a sight to behold!
After resting for while, we decided to start our adventure in this concrete jungle, by ourselves, provided we got map. We confidently walk out the hotel lobby to search for food. We managed to go to SaiYongChoi Street South (西洋菜南街) and ladies market (女人街) at Mong Kok, 旺角.
